from joaquin castro and david sicilian, both impeachment managers, focusing more on what trump was doing in the hours after the right -- riot had gotten underway. basically, making the point that trump did nothing to stop the protesters, despite seeing what was happening on tv, despite pleas from within the senate, from senators, asking him to do something, to stop what was happening.

let's turn to our correspondent. actually, let's return back to the senate. >> we might as well clear -- >> -- >> pursuant to senate resolution 47, section four, presentations are not limited to the record provided in section one of that resolution. the senator from utah has appealed the ruling. is that correct? >> yes, i have. >> the yeas and mau at -- nays

have been requested. >> what is the question? >> whether the ruling of the chair is sustained. >> what may i ask is the ruling of the chair? my point was not whether -- my point was to strike them because they were false. >> the question is whether the ruling of the chair, senate resolution 47 applies to the situation, is correct. >> the question is whether senate resolution 47, section four, is correct. that the parties presentations are not limited to the record provided for in that resolution. >> that is not my motion. you have ruled on something that was not what i moved. what i asked was, statements were attributed to me repeatedly. as to which i have personal

knowledge, because i am the source. they are not true, i never made those statements, i asked that they be stricken. this has nothing to do with whether they are based on depositions, which they are not. it is simply based on the fact that i am the witness, i am the only witness. those statements are not true and i ask that you strike them. >> mr. president. >> what is he doing? >> mr. president. >> mr. president. >> trouble with the mike, i'm sorry. the a's n/a seven asked.

-- the yeas and nays have been asked. anchor: maybe you can tell us a little more about what is happening right now. i believe one of the republicans, mike lee is trying to get something stricken from the record, some of the evidence he is not happy with. reporter: there was evidence presented during the last couple of hours about a phone call that was made by rudy giuliani to the senate floor. he was trying to call tommy tuberville who is a newly elected senator from alabama, but instead he got through to senator mike lee instead, and mike lee handed the phone over. what mike lee is a saint that he is being quoted in a context that is not true, he is the source, and he has asked for those comments, that part of the evidence that has been entered into the congressional record to be stricken.

that is what the vote is about at the moment. it is going to be a very close vote, but you can see, mike lee is unhappy about it. mike lee is a constitutional lawyer, is a constitutional expert, and the views of some. he is also a big supporter of donald trump. it will be interesting to see how this actually plays out. it is interesting, this has become a point of contention on the senate floor during a trial, rather than some of the evidence we have heard in the last couple of hours, which of course we have heard from prosecutors, talking about what happened at the white house during the assault. the fact that for more than two hours, there was no attempt to call the national guard, even though several people called donald trump and said, you have to help us out. you have to do something to call off the mob. that is very interesting, because of course, the argument that the lawyers for donald trump are going to put forward when they get their time, is that the mob acted on their own.

donald trump had no control over them, yet here we have republics, including the leader of the republicans in the house calling donald trump at the white house, to say you need to do something about the mob that is attacking the capitol. other members of the senate and congress called ivanka trump to speak to her father, called jared kushner to speak to his father,. all of the making an expert -- effort to say, you have to call office crowd. what is interesting as well, is that the national guard were not called for more than two hours. singh, there was a difficulty on capitol hill. as we saw in the videos, those anguished radio messages. capitol hill police were being overrun, outflanked, outnumbered, and they needed reinforcements. they wanted help from the

national guard, but for more than two hours, there was no call made. donald trump did not activate the national guard, even though he was watching on tv. the democrats are claiming the reason he did not want to stop this, but because he was quite happy for the interruption to go ahead, because in his view, it increased the possibility of the election results being overturned. that is ongoing, we should get the results shortly. it has been quite a dramatic day on capitol hill, with video and audio being played we have never seen before, video from some of the security cameras, showing just how close the mob came to some senators. in fact, there is a scene where mitt romney was walking towards the crowd, but eugene goodman, a capitol police officer directed him in the other direction. it was such a close call, that mitt romney's son has weeded up saying thanks to eugene goodman,

suddenly realizing that he actually probably saved his father's life. we also saw how close chuck schumer, the leader of the democrats in the senate came to the crowd. he was heading away from what they thought was the right -- the riot, they were actually heading towards it. they had to about-face and had some rows, because police close the doors behind him to keep the mob away. the crowds were walking through capitol hill, saying they were going to hang mike pence. the democrats allege that they were inspired by the tweets of donald trump, who said, that might answer was not courageous enough to do his duty. several times, over the last several hours, we have had the democrats talk about mike pence as a patriot for standing up and doing his job capitol hill. despite the pressure from donald trump. anchor: this is also a good

point, to make the point, to apologize to viewers. some of the footage we have been showing, some of the explicit language that we have comply, many of this, much of this footage is new. it's unseen footage. i do wonder, how much of what we have been seeing presented by impeachment managers, would have been known or unknown by senators present today. and, how much that is going to play into their decisions when they vote. reporter: some of the footage has been in the public domain for more than one month. the security footage was certainly new. senators were looking quite shocked, they had clearly never seen it. you talk about the republican

bubble how they only watch tv stations like fox news, one american news, newsmax. for them, it was probably brand-new, and my change a few votes. but will they get to 67? seems unlikely. let's get back to the senate floor. jamie raskin is speaking. >> we are happy to withdraw it on the grounds that it is not true. we are going to withdraw it this evening, and without any prejudice to the ability to resubmit it if possible, then we can debate it if we need it. this is much ado about nothing because it is not critical in any way to our case. >> the managers issue stance, mr. lee has withdrawn his request. we may relitigate it tomorrow if

we have to. i now ask unanimous consent that the trial adjourned until 12:00 noon tomorrow, thursday february, 11th, and this also constitute the adjournment of the senate. >> is there an objection? so ordered. the senate is adjourned. anchor: let's return to our correspondent who has been watching proceedings in washington, d.c. that concludes the first day of the evidence, second day -- reporter: this is the first day we have had evidence, you are right in that regard. yesterday was talking about the constitutionality. what we have had is under eight hours of evidence, we started at

12:00, there have been a couple of breaks. what happened there is we were talking about mike lee objecting, saying he was the source for one of the points they were making, and therefore, he said it was not true and it should be withdrawn. the house computer managers have said it is not a big part of our case, they are happy to with right, but they mate revisited at some point on thursday. they mate -- there is also rules about what evidence can be presented. this is dramatic for senators, many of them having to relive events, seeing it through the eyes of others for the first time, including the police officers formed the frontline, for outflanked and outnumbered, who were frantically calling on messages over the radio for extra help, for backup. you have them talk about how they were officers in distress. you saw some of the injuries

inflicted on police officers. you also saw how the police officers were in large degree heroes, as he directed some of the protesters away from the house and from the senate, to give senators and members of congress the chance to find places of safety. there was a incredibly dramatic footage from security cameras of how nancy pelosi's staffers went into a coat room. there were two doors. you saw them rushing into that room, because the outer door, an inner door, they barricaded with furniture. we have testimony from the impeachment managers, and we saw the video, of how people battered on that outside door, and they were very worried that they could possibly break through. there was clearly chaos for several hours. the point the democrats were making towards the end of the day, having shown this video, is that first of all, donald trump inspired the crowd to move towards capitol hill.

i think one of the key pieces of evidence, was there was no permission given by the authorities here in washington, d.c. from march from the ellipse, 20 speech was taking place, to capitol hill, until the trump white house got involved. there was no permission at all, but donald trump and his team push the authorities to give permission for that march. that could well become very key. then we had the evidence from joaquin castro, who was sent -- saying, essentially, donald trump did nothing. when he tweeted out a video message to get people to go home peacefully, he said, thank you, we love you. he said how could you possibly love people who were doing what they did here on capitol hill? we were talking about whether or not the democrats might be able to convince 17 republican

senators to vote with them. there may be possibly 10 that are in the process of considering their vote. a couple of them are retiring, rob portman in ohio, he may well vote with the democrats this time around. but they probably don't have enough to get to 67. however, what they are doing, is lying down the legacy that donald trump has left. it is the final days of donald trump in office. they are laying down, this is what he did and how he did it. they are laying down the history of the assault on capitol hill which will be studied for years to come. and we have the likes of lisa murkowski, senator from alaska, republican, not a huge trunk them. she is saying, having listened to the evidence over the last eight hours, how could you possibly consider donald trump for office again? that may well be the best the democrats can hope for here.

while they don't get a conviction for donald trump in the senate, what they do is damaged them so politically that he can never run for office again what is. also clear from watching the video, there is going to be more court cases from this. the fbi already confirmed to 17 people have been charged. those people stretch over 43 states, but there are going to be more charges. now they are dealing with individuals, but what the fbi will move on to very soon, is they will look at groups of people, and whether or not there was a conspiracy, and who directed that conspiracy. it was behind the organizing of the march and the right. at the moment the senators are just continuing donald trump's role and how from july last year, he was saying the election would be stolen, how people

would have to fight to save their country, and fight to save him as president. a fight that he lost at the ballot box, in the courts, and with public opinion. anchor: many thanks. looking at the number in the u.s. senate, we can see why donald trump's conviction is highly unlikely. there are in all, 100 senators, two from each state. the chambers arevenly split. 50 republicans, 48 are democrats. the other two are independents to vote with the democrats, who narrowly control the chamber, with the siding vote of got kamala harris. a two thirds majority is needed to convict trump, which means 17 republicans would need to vote with all the democrats against donald trump. let's speak to the author of a

book about andrew johnson. she joins me now from skype in new york. many things for staying with us. how likely is it that he will be convicted of this? >> it's not very likely. but as you and europe correspondent were saying, it is likely that some folks we were not expect will decide to convict donald trump. but, it is still very steep, even if you have 15, you still don't have 17. it is going to be very difficult. the recent update -- upset before they ended, when senator lee was upset because he thought he was misquoted, or maybe he was. you could hear republican

senators cheering him on. that was not a welcome sign for those who are hoping that the date changed a lot of minds. anchor: what do you think of the evidence and how it has been presented? do you think it is damming enough to make sure that the former president, president trump will no longer be able to stand for office again? >> i am not so sure about whether he would stand for office, were voted into office again. that is a real question. if you were to run for president of the united states, that would not be for four years. a lot could happen in four years. in terms of the evidence that has been mounted today, brick by brick, very methodically. i think what impeachment

managers set out to do, efficiently, with the promotion but at the same time to lawful motions as the impeachment leader jamie raskin adjusted when there was a discussion about center early's objection. the two goals they seem to have had is the responsibility for incitement that donald trump or, and also what exactly his goals in inciting that right were. i think that that was very interesting, because they were actually talking about what the goals were. in the goals were, to stop the certification. that is why giuliani was making phone calls at 7:00 to one of the senators, to quote, slow

do. it's absurd in that context. one of the bits of information i did not know myself, set during the insurrection, trump actually tweeted out sections of the rally we have heard play over and over again. he was clearly proud of it, and that is a way of acting the crowd on. anchor: really good to get your thoughts, author of an impeachment book on andrew johnson. ♪ our coverage of the trump impeachment coverage continues. for now, a look at some of the other world news. the united states is imposing new sanctions on those responsible for the military coup in myanmar. joe biden says washington would

identify the first round of targets this week, and stands ready to impose further punishments. >> the military must really push power it seized, and demonstrate respect for the will of the people of burma, as expressed in their november a collection. today, i am announcing a series of actions that we are taking to begin imposing consequences on the leaders of the coup. the u.s. government is taking steps to prevent the generals from improperly having access to the $1 billion of burmese government funds held in the united states. we have more from the white house. reporter: i must immediately following the military takeover in myanmar, the united states labeled a coup, prompting the immediate review of assistance to myanmar. but now, president joe biden has gone one step further, announcing with an executive order that military officials and their families connected

with that takeover, now subject to sanctions in addition, there will be a freezing of assets for the government here in the united states, and there will be strong export controls put in place. now, there is also a calling by the united states for the release of those detainees. as well as activists. the hope is, in the words of the national security advisor jake sullivan, he hopes that this will sharpen the choice for military leaders in myanmar, and if it doesn't, the united states says it is prepared to take additional measures. anchor: yemen's houthi rebels have fired two drums packed with explosives into saudi arabia. the king says one of them targeted an area near its southern border. the attack was thwarted, it came

hours after the houthi sit-airport. no injuries were reported, but an aircraft was damaged. the united nations nuclear watchdog says iran has started producing uranium metal, which is another violation of the deal. the international atomic energy agency says it has identified material at a facility in the city of islam. it has previously said it needs uranium metal for research, but the material can also be used in a nuclear bomb. joe biden says the release of a saudi women's activist from prison is a -- the right thing to do. she was freed on wednesday after three years behind bars. her family thanked biden, but asked for more. reporter: it was a road trip that the her in jail. in 2014, she attempted to cross from the united arab emirates to

saudi arabia, where women are not allowed to drive. after 73 days in jail, she would become the face of the movement. she was later pardoned by the king and stoltz to keep quiet. she focused her energies on ending the male guardianship system in the kingdom. in 2015, women were allowed to vote and stand in elections. she ran but her name was kept off the ballot. it was not long before public pressure appeared to show results. in 2017, saudi arabia announced women would be allowed to drive under reforms made by the crown prince. but just weeks before the ban was lifted in 2018, she was stopped while driving in the uae, going to react and later to late -- detained. nearly three years have passed. her family has accused saudi authorities of torturing and holding her in solitary confinement for month of time. sally officials denied the allegations. in december, she was convicted

at a criminal court on terror charges, and seeking to change the saudi political system and harm national security. her release is widely seen as a gesture towards the biden administration. >> she was a powerful advocate for women's rights and releasing her was the right thing to do. reporter: washington also says in no mugger shares intelligence with the saudi led coalition in yemen. amnesty international and human rights watch state long-overdue reforms are a bittersweet victory, when the women who champion government in prison, or facing unfair trials. in the latest reforms announced by the crown prince, he acknowledged that the judicial system had created pains for women. he did not mention her or other specifically. she may be out of prison, but according to her sister she is not yet free. she will remain on probation and is not allowed to leave the kingdom. anchor: the world health

organization has backed the use of astrazeneca's covid-19 vexing after questions about his effectiveness amongst older people and against new variants. experts say while it may offer less protection, they are confident it guards against severe disease. south africa suspended use of the vaccine just this week. >> we recommend for the vaccine to be used in people 18 years and above without an upper leg that change limit. that is people over 65 years of age should be given vaccine. the recommendation. even a reduction in the possibility of these vaccines, especially against severe disease, there is no reason not to recommend its use, even in

countries that have the circulation of the variants. anchor: more coverage of the second trump impeachment trial coming up ahead on al jazeera. stay with us. oçawc
